Gray's Papaya

Get the recession special: 2 perfectly grilled hot dogs with a papaya juice . Add either fried onions or a generous pile of sauerkraut and eat ‘em at the counter. Ideal for late-night people-watching.

It comes closest to fulfilling the hot dog principles that originated on the Coney Island Boardwalk: plainish, popping-skinned franks topped with a meager choice of ingredients. Read more

Mhm, this is a good spot. Not on the popular side of Manhattan but it makes good business. The nice thin dogs on the buns ! Mm, that's good! Good deals , good food. Just that it has no where to sit. :(

My favourite hot dog place in all of NYC (and I was born and raised in Manhattan).Very simple. But excellent & cheap hot dogs . Try mustard & sauerkraut . I recommend Coconut over classic Papaya .

Love the 2 hotdogs and a juices , great if you're really hungry and need something quick or if you're on a budget

The Upper West Side location is still a steady 24-hour purveyor of a pair of excellently snappy hot dogs paired with fruit juice . Read more

Favorite Gray's Papaya. Hands down! Hot dog is snappy, savory, & the perfect meat:bun ratio. Get the recession special with delicious pina colada .

Recession special. Don't let the price fool you, they are Awesome !!! griddle dogs with their natural casing, so different than carts (boiled) or shake shack (cut).

This relentlessly yellow hot dog joint hops 24 hours a day and is a symbol of Upper West Side cheap eats. Mustard is pretty much required; the only dilemma is choosing between the onions or the kraut .

Simplicity at it's best, folks. Pretty much defines a NYC hot dog for me. Snappy, flavorful, simple, highly affordable , and quick. So how can you say bad things about GP?

the dogs may not $.50 anymore, but still cheaper and better than the street vendors. get the recession special- 2 dogs and a drink. banana daiquiri has been my choice for as long as i can remember!

Great for a quick, tasty and cheap bite - all toppings and their piña colada are awesome. CASH only ! ????????????

Friendly Filipino staff tonight! A filipino station was playing on the radio lol. Hotdogs were okay and piña colada as well as coconut champagne were a little too sweet. But I'm glad we tried it!

Breakfast sandwich (egg , cheese , ham or sausage on a roll) is delicious! Taste it!

This is supposed to be of the best hot dogs in New York? Sausages were good, but bread and juice didn’t taste very good. I’ve tasted far better hot dogs in London than here. Sorry newyorkers.

The "Frank Spot", as me and my boys have always called it. Best frank in the city hands down. When I come back home to visit I always make sure I stop in for my ny frank fix..

The hot dog lover's hot dog . Snaps when you bite into it. Bun has a thin crunchy layer that yield to a fluffy crumb. I don't drink the sugar water on offer.

Gray's is a NY institution. Come in on a late night and order the two hot dog special with a piña colada drink to wash it down.

Their recession special is so worth it! Hot dogs hit the right spot and papaya drink goes well with the dogs.

Best NY's hotdogs ! Small place but service is good and quality is nice

Los mejores hot dogs de NYC, baratos y deliciosos!!! The best hot dogs in NYC : Cheap and delicious

Don't pass by this place without getting some refreshing pineapple juice ! While you're at it, get a hot dog :)

Gray's opened in 1972. Has no place to sit but the turnover is quick. Gray's is featured in films such as 1997 "Fools Rush In" and 1993 Michael J Fox film "For Love or Money." More info in blog.<LINK> Read more

No matter what time of day it is, their juicy two-buck frank will take you back to the summer when you had your first.

UWS classic. Satisfy your cravings with their iconic hot dogs .

Best hot dog in the city (/world). A little ketchup and mustard and you're golden.

Hot dogs and piña coladas . Pretty easy on what you should order!

Still the best! Recession special: ~$8.16 with tax. Credit cards accepted for $10 and up. (May 2024)

You have to eat here at least once if you are in Manhattan. And have a tropical juice drink .

A New York institution. Delicious anytime, though essential late-night after too many drinks.

Not only.great hotdogs nd the best drinks but if.it around in.the am dey got 2.25 sausage egg and cheese sandwich add 25 cent and you got a coffee !

It's not food... It's fuel. But it's delicious fuel... The best franks in town , but the place is anything but charming. The juices are very good.

When you need something quick before, during, or after a night out, nothing beats a Gray's Papaya hot dog . Great snap.

Hahha classic feed in nyc. Papaya drink is awesome. Hot dog is dirty & cheap .

Dogs are good. Skip the blended juices (too sweet) and "onions " that are really just extra sweet ketchup onion sauce

Definitely get the Papaya with your dogs ????????

NYC institution still serving the best hot dogs for under $2. Papaya juice is very tasty.

Classic hotdoggery. Get the recession special, two hot dogs and a drink.

Cheap , yummy, can't go wrong. Skinny hot dogs and good sauerkraut .

Not the best dogs in town but definitely a must. Get the Recession Special: 2 dogs and a Papaya . Classic!

Hot dogs w chili & cheese and the fruit drinks

a UWS institution, but I'd suggest you avoid both the chalky drinks and the weirdly sweet chili topping, which comes out of a pump

Delicious franks! Awesome deal with the recession special. Try adding chilli and cheese .

Amazing dogs the best in city , amazing banana daikiri, and a dog with onions .

This place serves a need, and that is post-midnight cravings. 2 well-done dogs with mustard , eaten in shame by the window, please.

Great!!! Best hot dog in the world!!! Cheap , quick and excellent!!! Must see and check point in New York if you are a hot dog fan as myself ;)

you just can't come to NYC without having a hotdog from here. late at night after hitting the bars is a great time for people watching here too.

It is what it is: cheap hot dogs on the corner. And it’s good. Try the chili cheese .

Best Hot Dog 's also try the Papaya Juice !

One of the best hot dog in joint in manhattan, no secondary thought about it.
